For individuals and couples who would rather cruise with a group than by themselves, Travel Design Associates has announced the Cruise Together program of hosted group cruises.

Cruise Together groups feature discounted pricing as well as a cabin-mate matching service to help members avoid cruise line single-supplement charges. The groups feature a host, member introductions, get-togethers, a cocktail party, dining together, private optional shore excursions, group participation in ship functions and more.

There is no additional charge for membership; participants pay only the discount cruise fare.

For bookings, see your travel agent, call Travel Design Associates. in Santa Clara, CA, at 800/927-7444 or visit http://tda.hypermart.net/groups.

The groups are hosted by Ted. Lester. To ask about group features, call Ted at 800/699-2466 (mailbox: 831/688-2566), e-mail tedlester@yahoo. corn or visit http://tedlester.hypermart.net.
